"Union Square" by Childe Hassam, created in 1892, depicts a bustling scene in New York City's Union Square. The painting captures the vibrant energy of the city, with carriages and people filling the square. Hassam's Impressionistic style, characterized by loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors, conveys the movement and light of the urban landscape. The painting's central focus is the open square, framed by towering buildings and lush trees, creating a sense of depth and perspective. It offers a glimpse into the city's social life and urban development during the late 19th century.
